The "Grab 7 Battle" focusing on the "quasi-200,000 yuan" mainstream consumption range has ushered in a new player.
On May 17, Lynk & Co 07 EM-P was launched in three styles, with the official price ranging from RMB 169,800 to RMB 189,800. If you place an order and complete the lock-in order before June 30, 2024, you can buy it at a price of 163,800-183,800 yuan.
This pricing is more friendly to the people than the current 200,000-yuan car market that new forces are frantically occupying, and it has successfully avoided head-to-head competition with those "kings" of mid- to large-sized sedans. Of course, this can be understood as Geely's strong system power, which enables it to meet the same product power at a lower price.
As an electric hybrid sedan with plug-in hybrid and extended-range capabilities, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is currently in the fastest-growing vehicle category with the widest application scenarios, and it is obviously built for volume.
The new car adopts "artistic design aesthetics" to integrate aesthetics and functionality. The "Urban Mirror Door" adopts a frameless, hidden water-cut design, bringing simple and pure visual art, and achieving a series of functions such as sealing, waterproofing, noise reduction, and low wind resistance.
Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is built on the CMA Evo native new energy architecture. One of the biggest advantages of this new energy architecture is its high space utilization and spacious front and rear seating spaces, which is better than mainstream fuel-powered mid-level cars. The new car is equipped with Nappa leather seats in the front and rear rows, and all four seats are equipped with 3-level ventilation, 3-level heating and air bag massage functions. It can be said that every passenger enjoys the same treatment.
In the field of smart cabins, which was not leading before, Lynk & Co is catching up. This car uses the LYNK Flyme Auto smart cockpit system created by Lynk & Co and Meizu. The new car is equipped with the Antola 1000 Pro computing platform, which integrates two 7-nanometer "Dragon Eagle 1" chips. The computing power of a single chip is twice that of Qualcomm's 8155 chip.
According to official reports, this is China’s first self-developed car-grade 7nm mass-produced chip, providing powerful computing power for multi-screen connectivity. In conjunction with the "smart large-screen family bucket", 07 EM-P combines a 92-inch AR-HUD, a 15.4-inch preferred smart screen, a 10.2-inch full LCD digital instrument, as well as a Pad and mobile phone to achieve a multi-screen experience.
Among them, the Co Pad 12.6-inch detachable high-definition smart screen uses Flyme Link technology to control the car, entertain, and take care of the car. The exclusive care function for the rear row allows parents traveling with children to control the rear screen from the front row.
In terms of driving modes, Lynk & Co can implement four modes including plug-in hybrid and extended range. In the super extended range mode, the vehicle's working status is intelligently adjusted according to speed and road conditions, and intelligent switching between electric drive, direct drive and parallel drive is performed.
Within a speed of 88 kilometers per hour, priority will be given to pure electric vehicles; if the speed exceeds 88 kilometers per hour, priority will be given to parallel and direct drive systems; with a 3-speed transmission, the system will always be maintained in an efficient and economical operation range. In addition, through intelligent energy management strategies, it can save 10%-15% of fuel per 100 kilometers when running out of power.
Lynk & Co 07 EM-P uses a 1.5T four-cylinder electric hybrid engine and DHT Evo dual-motor electric drive system (P1+P3) with a combined power of 280kW and a fastest acceleration of 0 to 100 kilometers in 6.5 seconds. Its pure electric cruising range under CLTC operating conditions reaches 126km, and the cost of long-distance journeys is as low as 0.35 yuan per kilometer, which is lower than the cost of electric vehicles that only use fast charging, but slightly higher than the cost of slow charging users who have home charging piles.
With the advancement of material science, the passive safety of this car's body structure has also been raised to a new level. The proportion of high-strength steel + aluminum in the vehicle exceeds 82%. The A-pillar, B-pillar and four-door anti-collision beam are made of 2000MPa hot-formed steel. The front anti-collision beam is made of aerospace-grade 7 series aluminum alloy, and the rear seat backrest is made of Metal back panel.
In terms of active safety and intelligent driving, Lynk & Co 07 EM-P adopts the latest generation of Tianqiong Pro intelligent driving computing platform, equipped with up to 28 items of high-sensing hardware, and has "in-one driving and parking" high-end intelligent driving capabilities. The top version supports 32 items of intelligent driving assistance. functions, FCW forward collision warning system, HWA Plus highway driving assistance system and other functions. In addition, the high-speed NOA function is planned to be officially launched in the fourth quarter.
As of April 2024, Lynk & Co's cumulative sales have exceeded 1.13 million units. This brand, which has solidified the image of China's high-performance cars through various touring car events, is targeting a wider audience with a more pragmatic and people-friendly product matrix.
